Weekends

My weekends are special times for me.

Sometimes I go out of town and the WHOLE weekend is taken up. I leave on a Friday evening come back late on a Sunday night. The whole weekend, gone, but yet the time away necessary for my soul. A little mini-vacation.

But, depending on what I am doing over the weekend depends on how much I do in the evenings the following week. Running a tournament all weekend is EXHAUSTING. Just playing in a tournament is tiring, but not exhausting. Going out just one night of the weekend (like to a casino on a Friday night or a Saturday night tourney) is not too bad, but turns my two-day weekend into one day of laziness and that leaves only a one-day weekend left.

The weekends I stay home completely, I fill with early morning movies, practice and errands and then doing things around the house. Those are awesome times!

Each weekend has its own special touch, though. A good practice; a good movie; accomplishing tasks; taking risks and trying something new, different, and out of the ordinary for me; playing in a tournament and adding to my arsenal by absorbing learning experiences; spending time with my Mom; volunteering at billiard events; working on websites, and yes, sometimes just doing "nothing" (which is a rare occurrence).

Sometimes I go out of town and do something non-pool related but that is not very often and is usually associated with a trip for work.

So, my weekends are pretty much defined as just three types. Either:

Refueling,
Mini-Vacation,
Or
Accomplishing tasks (which is a never ending invisible list of things to do at home, outside the home, and online, LOL).

And EACH type of weekend is so different from the other, yet each type is still so very special to me. Each one I cherish and embrace and love. Each one has its own significance and reason for helping me live the life I live.

I am truly blessed.
